Dick,

Make sure you don't have SYNC DATA enabled. You will know if you do by a
-S just under the DATA indication on the right side of the screen.

I ran into this while trying to work a DX station on AFSK A split. I
kept getting UP UP W4JBB. Although everything indicated I *was* split, I
was not. I don't know why. All I know is that with SYNC DATA enabled (I
use it for WINMOR), it minimizes T/R delays by forcing the same crystal
filter for both transmit and receive.

As mentioned in the K3 owner's manual SPLIT is not available for all mode combinations. If you see "N/A" flashed on VFO B when you try to enter split, then either the VFO A and B modes in effect at present are not usable in SPLIT, or you may have VFO B in a different mode than you think. Try tapping A>B twice to ensure that VFO A and B are in the same mode.

In any case where SPLIT isn't available you can always use RIT or XIT. If you have the sub receiver, you can achieve split operation without going into SPLIT mode: just use VFO B to tune the station you're listening to, and use VFO A to find a clear spot to call.

MOst frequently for me is I haven't pressed A->B twice to set
the second VFO to the same mode etc. as the primary one.

I don't think it's supposed to.  I don't remember why.

When using RTTY I only use FSK-D and DX pileups always mean split. You must
have something misconfigured.

You're welcome to email me direct and we can compare settings.

REPLY:

For my style of split operation I always press it twice.

This would be a nice option in the Config menu: Press once to transfer
frequency only or to
transfer all A VFO settings.
